From underutilized parcel to a new community – the journey of the River Club, now under construction in Bogota, N.J., is one of patience, persistence and flexible design.

The mixed-use complex at West Fort Lee Road and the Hackensack River will include 421 luxury apartments, from studios through 3 bedrooms, including 42 affordable units, adding much-needed density to the region.

Designed by master planner and architect of record CI Design, Baltimore, the gated development will consist of four, four- and five-story residential buildings, with 8,000 square feet of ground floor retail, a dog park, and a 2,000-foot public walkway along the river that will link downtown Bogota to downtown Hackensack. A community clubhouse will feature an indoor/outdoor fireplace, yoga studio, media room and luxury pool terrace including an infinity-edge pool.
